Features: Considering that teenagers may find it difficult to read the original Chinese ancient fables, we have carefully selected widely circulated fables from various dynasties in China and adapted them into easy-to-understand stories based on the original spirit. To highlight the main themes of the fables and enhance the storytelling and vividness, some details from the original texts have been slightly added or omitted, accompanied by vivid illustrations. Additionally, we have thoughtfully created concise, dialogue-style annotations for each story, allowing the written narrative, illustrations, and interpretive annotations to complement each other, making the book highly readable and helping readers fully grasp the profound wisdom of the fables. This series will be published in separate volumes, with each volume containing 35 fables. We hope readers will enjoy this book.
